Here's a weird thing. This book has this quote from John Bowlby: "What cannot be communicated to the [m]other cannot be communicated to the self.� and it's referenced as the paper which is available for free here: But there's no sign of that quote?

This is a book review, I know how to write book reviews. In fact, sometimes I get paid to teach people how to do it.

Rebecca Reading this one very slowly, so many heartbreaking stories.


message 2: by Rebecca (new) - added it

Rebecca Why is rocking "Mal-adaptive" self-soothing? 1. It works. 2. It causes no harm to the person doing it or anyone around them 3. it's not addictive. He should say what he means if he's going to make a statement like that.
